Description:

Enrollment is open for the third year of Change U: Social Movements in the Making! This is an exciting and FREE opportunity for GVSU students, faculty and staff, as well as members from the greater community to explore the interconnected social justice issues, the systems that perpetuate oppression and the rich history of social justice work. This social justice training series is comprised of two consecutive eight week sessions: Change U 1.0 and Change U 2.0. Change U 1.0 participants will examine past, effective justice movements and work to develop a shared critique of systems of power as well as how change is created. Change U 2.0 participants will have the opportunity to learn concrete skills and strategies they can use to create the change they want to see in their local communities. This year, we are thrilled to include anti-racist speaker and author, Tim Wise. It's going to be a great Winter Semester, and we have just one short month before the applications are due on Friday, November 16.
